UPDATE: I confused Vitaly Gerasimov with Valery Gerasimov. Sorry for the mistake in my email. I woke up and partied on Valery’s grave too soon. :(
xVitalyx Valery Gerasimov is the author of the “Gerasimov Doctrine” which is what we’ve been experiencing in the United States for many years. It’s a military strategy of “hybrid warfare” — relentlessly attacking the target through covert non-kinetic methods, without ever declaring war.
This is VITALY.
VALERY Gerasimov is the guy all the way on the left. VITALY was killed in Ukraine. 🇺🇦
It’s not him, sadly. It’s Vitaly, who was in charge of the invasion of Crimea, not Valery. Olga Lautman tweeted yesterday “ Just to clear something up. This is NOT Valery Gerasimov who is the chief of general staff of armed forces,” and then “He is reportedly the nephew though.”
I also thought it was him. It’s still a very big deal, the name Gerasimov carries a lot of weight.
Maybe related, but not the same general named Gerasimov. The one above is Valery Gerasimov (still alive unfortunately). The one killed is Vitaly. Causing confusion.
